X-ray image of the left knee of a 54-year-old female patient with rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the joints, leading to painful, stiff and deformed joints. The scan shows diffuse bone demineralization producing a heterogeneous appearance by the existence of geodic images of internal femoral condylar and external and especially the internal tibial plateau. The patient also has bicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (osteoarthritis affecting two of three compartments of the knee joint). | |
